Lamp Posts

I read an article about a problem that has been terrorizing people in Baltimore. This is such a scary issue that has left the people in the city living in the dark. I always thought that criminals have completely exhausted their powers thinking of crimes and have been forced to do the usual bank robbery, burglary, car jacking, and tricking old people into giving them money, but there has been a new idea in the crime community, and most devastating problem, criminals have started stealing Lamp Posts. Yes , about 130 aluminum light poles have vanished from locations across the city. You probably think that this is not a clever crime, and any one could do if they tried. Well, that's where you are wrong, try carting away with 250-pound lamppost without getting noticed. These guys are professionals, they dress up as utility workers and use orange cones to avoid suspicion. They sell these lamps for scrap metal for 30 - 35 cents a pound. Well a lamp post would come up to a whooping $75, wow. BIG MONEY. So if they have stolen 130 that would be $9,750. I really wonder if that is worth all that work. I mean do these idiots realize that they could probably earn more from working at MacDonalds. They risk being arrested for $75, I know I have thought of dumb illegal activities but seriously! These guy are as smart as a sack of potatoes. Well I decided to use my detective ideas and try and help the Baltimore police, so I questioned a few people and animals who claimed to have seen these men commit these crimes, and came up with a detailed sketch of what the culprit may look like. Unfortunately the Baltimore P.D do not allow outside help, so I instead decided to urge people who see these crimes get committed to call and inform the Police. This is what the culprit may look like-
